Precautions
Precautions
On safety
•Check that the operating voltage of your unit is
identical with the voltage of your local power
supply.
•Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it further.
•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be
used for several days.
•To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never
pull the cord itself.
•The wall outlet should be near the unit and easily
accessible.
•The unit is not disconnected to the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the unit itself has been turned off.
•Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on.
•Do not aim the laser at people or not look into the
laser transmitter.
•Do not place your hand or objects near the
ventilation holes — the air coming out is hot.
•Be careful not to catch your fingers by the adjuster
when you lift up the projector. Do not push hard on
the top of the projector with the adjuster out.
•Be sure to grasp the both sides of the projector with
both your hands when carrying the projector.
On illumination
•To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen
should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight.
•Ceiling-mounted spot lighting is recommended. Use
a cover over fluorescent lamps to avoid lowering the
contrast ratio.
•Cover any windows that face the screen with opaque
draperies.
•It is desirable to install the projector in a room where
floor and walls are not of light-reflecting material. If
the floor and walls are of reflecting material, it is
recommended that the carpet and wall paper be
changed to a dark color.
On preventing internal heat build-up
After you turn off the power with the I / 1 key on the
Remote Commander or on the control panel, do not
disconnect the unit from the wall outlet while the
cooling fan is still running.
Caution
The projector is equipped with ventilation holes
(intake) on the bottom and ventilation holes (exhaust)
on the front. Do not block or place anything near these
holes, or internal heat build-up may occur, causing
picture degradation or damage to the projector.
On cleaning
•To keep the cabinet looking new, periodically clean
it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed
with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent
solution. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner,
benzene, or abrasive cleansers, since these will
damage the cabinet.
•Avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens,
use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth,
detergent solution, or thinner.
•When replacing the lamp, clean the filter.
On repacking
Save the original shipping carton and packing
material; they will come in handy if you ever have to
ship your unit. For maximum protection, repack your
unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
On LCD projector
The LCD projector is manufactured using highprecision technology. You may, however, see tiny
black points and/or bright points (red, blue, or green)
that continuously appear on the LCD projector. This is
a normal result of the manufacturing process and does
not indicate a malfunction.
Overview

Features
Features
High brightness, high picture quality
•Tilt installation (in front and rear)
You can install the projector by tilting it 90 degrees at
the rear or 90 degrees in front. You can use a mirror
for rear projection.
•High brightness
The high aperture ratio LCD panel with a microlens
and the 300 W UHP lamp provide high brightness
(light output 5200 ANSI lumen) and excellent
uniformity on the picture.
•High contrast
The newly developed optical system enables
projection of twice as high a contrast as that of Sony’s
current models.
•High resolution
By adopting three 1.3-inch, approximately 790,000pixels XGA panels, this projector can project sharp
picture with the resolutions of 1024 × 768 pixels for
RGB input, and 750 horizontal TV lines for video
input.
•High picture performance
The DDE (Dynamic Detail Enhancer) technology,
originally developed by Sony, enables converting
interlace format video signals to progressive format,
allowing you to obtain a detailed picture.
The technology also reproduces the film sources in 23 Pull-Down format with smooth picture movement.
The internal RGB enhancer provides sharper RGB
pictures. The 10-bit 3D Digital Gamma correction for
good picture uniformity is also provided.
Convenient and flexible setup
•Power zoom/power focus lens and the lens shift
function
The projector is equipped with a 1.3-times power
zoom and power focus lens, which allows you to
change the size of the projected image without having
to move the projector. The lens shift function enables
you to install the projector in a wide range of
locations, without worrying about trapezoid
distortion. Also, three optional lenses are available for
the projector, depending on your setup condition.
•Center positioned lens
The projector is designed to locate the lens in the
center of the unit. This enables an easy setup, as the
lens center aligns with the center of the screen.
•Twin stack installation
Thanks to the lens shift function, two projectors can
be stacked, which improves the brightness of the
image.
Multi scan compatibility
•DVI and 5BNC connectors
The projector has the DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
connector, the up-to-date digital input connector,
which allows you to connect to the digital or analog
RGB equipment equipped with the DVI output. The
5BNC input connectors allow you to connect to
workstation output high-resolution signals and to
connect to a computer from a long distance.
The projector has 44 preset data for input signals in
the memory, which allows you to project a clear
picture on the screen simply by connecting equipment
and pressing the APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) key.
•Accept various input signals
The projector accepts video signals of the composite,
S video and component, and can also display the 15k
1)
RGB, DTV, HDTV, VGA
, SVGA1), XGA1), SXGA
and UXGA1) (fV=60 Hz) signals.
•Scan converter built-in
The projector has a built-in scan converter which
converts the input signal within 1024 × 768 pixels.
•Compatible with six color systems
3.58, PAL, SECAM, NTSC 4.43

About the preset memory No.
This projector has 44 kinds of preset data for input
signals (the preset memory). The memory number of
the current input signal and the signal type are
displayed when the preset signal is input. This
projector automatically detects the signal type. When
the signal is registered to the preset memory, a
suitable picture is displayed on the screen according
to the signal type. You can adjust the picture through
the INPUT SETTING menu.
This projector also has 20 kinds of user memories for
each INPUT-A/B (analog signal only). When an
unpreset signal is input for the first time, memory
number is displayed as 0. If the input signal is
adjusted in the INPUT SETTING menu, the setting
via INPUT-A/B (analog signal only) is stored. When
more than 20 user memories are registered for each
INPUT-A/B (analog signal only), the newest memory
is automatically stored over the oldest one.

Notes for Installation
Notes for Installation
Unsuitable Installation
Do not install the projector in the following situations.
These installations may cause malfunction or damage
to the projector.
Poorly ventilated
•Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal
heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces
(rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.
When the internal heat builds up due to the block-up,
the temperature sensor will function with the
message “High temp.! Lamp off in 1 min.” The
power will be turned off automatically after one
minute.
•Leave space of more than 50 cm (19
around the unit.
•Be careful that the ventilation holes may inhale
tininess such as a piece of paper.
•If you put something in front of the front ventilation
holes, the exhaust may be inhaled into the projector
through the ventilation holes at the bottom, causing
the internal temperature to rise, which activates the
protection circuit. Install the projector so that the
exhaust is not blocked.
